Osteomalacia is caused by deficientcalcification of an otherwise
normal protein bone matrix
Due to failure of calcium and phosphorus
deposition in bone matrix X-ray Findings:
Involvement of the pelvis and long bones, withdemineralization and bowing
Less often, the spine and skull are involved as well. Fractures are rare except for "pseudo fractures."

The skeletal effects are due to lack ofcalcification of osteoid.
The most obvious change are at 'metaphysis'-where rapid growth is occurring. First change to appear is a 'loss of normal zone
of provisional calcification' adjacent tometaphysis. This begins as an indistinctness of the
metaphyseal margin, progressing to a 'frayed'appearance with widening of the growth plate,
due to lack of calcification of metaphyseal bone. Weight bearing & stress on uncalcified bonegives rise to 'splaying' & 'cupping' ofmetaphysis.

A similar but less marked effect occurs insubperiosteal layer , which may cause lack ofdistinctness of cortical margin.
Eventually a generalized reduction in bonedensity is seen. In the epiphysis - there may be somehaziness of cortical margin. Thus all findings
in Rickets occur due to failure of calcification& abnormal demineralization

The first changes of rickets appear in rapidlygrowing distal ends of ulna & radius (wrist &knee are commonly involved due to moreuse).
Rarefaction of provisional zone ofcalcification with widening of epiphysis-diaphysis distance is first to appear.
Following treatment there is ossification ofprovisional zone of calcification.

This x-ray shows a widened growthplate with an irregular pattern on the
metaphyseal side.
This is an x-ray of the same patient takenafter treatment with calcium and vitamin D.The growth plate has been reduced to itsnormal width as the cartilage has begun tocalcify. The margin is smooth and clean onthe end of the ulna. The calcification bands
are visible on both radius and ulna.

Subperiosteal resorption of cortical bone isvirtually diagnostic of hyperparathyroid bone
disease. In this form, a lacelike appearance of the
phalangeal bone may progress to a spiculatedcontour and, eventually, to complete resorptionof the entire cortex.
Other sites of subperiosteal resorption includethe phalangeal tufts; medial aspect of theproximal ends of the tibia, humerus and femur;superior and inferior margins of the ribs; and
lamina dura. Subperiosteal resorption of bone may also be
apparent at the margins of certain joints,especially those in the hand, wrist and foot

-The plain x-ray of the hand shows typical changes ofhyperparathyroidism, with resorption of subperiosteal bone on theradial side of proximal and middle phalanges of the 2nd and 3rd digits.-This is most obvious in the proximal phalanx of the middle finger.

In the skull, the initial osteolytic phase of pagetsis called "osteoporosis circumscripta" due to thepresence of geographic lucent regions primarilywithin the frontal bone.
This is followed by excessive new bone formation
leading to cortical thickening and osteoscleroticchanges in the inner table, diploe, andsubsequently the inner surface of the outertable. In this phase, plain radiographs manifest a
characteristic "cotton wool" appearance ofsclerotic lesions surrounded by areas ofdemineralization.

Osteoporosis is caused by a deficiency oforganic bone matrix.
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized bylow bone mass and loss of bone tissue thatmay lead to weak and fragile bones.
Has an increased risk for fractured bones
(broken bones).

The earliest feature of spinalosteoporosis is prominent verticalstriations due to loss of secondary
horizontal trabecula
General osteoporosis. There is reducedradiographic density (osteopenia), with
reduction in the number of trabeculae,which may be destroyed completely,and the bone cortex becomes thinned,as evident in the lateral radiograph ofthe calcaneus.

TRAUMATIC CONDITIONS :
A displaced fracture of the femoral neck or a hip dislocation
are wellknown etiologies of ONH; they lead to a mechanicalinterruption of the circulation to the femoral head.
NONTRAUMATIC CONDITIONS :
- Corticosteroid administration (respiratory and rheumatoddeseases, organ transplantation as well as Cushing disease)have a somewhat higher prevalence of osteonecrosis.
- Excessive alcohol intake has been identified as an etiologicfactor.
- Many other pathologies has been associated withOsteonecrosis : hemoglobinopathies, Dysbaric osteonecrosis,Gaucher desease, lupus, high-dose radiation, chemotherapy,
hyperlipidemia...

The Xray findings : Early on are completely normal, but with ongoing
problem, one sees progressively : Osteopenia Central radiolucency with a sclerotic border
A Subchondral lucency - making up the crescentsign Fattening of the head. Collapse of the head. Secondary changes of Osteoarthritis. Joint space narrowing Progressive joint destruction
Since the X-Rays may be completely normal - it is essentialto be able to see the problem early. Suggest an MRI ifhighly-suspected

These x-rays of the hip show thedifferent stages of the disease.
- At first (stage I), there are nodetectable changes on x-ray (figA).
- In stage II, there are some changesbut the surface is still intact (figB).
-As the disease progresses, thesurace begins to collapse (fig C)until,
-finally, the integrity of the joint isdestroyed (fig D).
